Saturday Night Live aired a Christmas episode featuring a unique twist on the classic story, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Host Martin Short played the Grinch, whose heart grew three sizes during the retelling.

Upset, Cindy Lou called her sister, Lucy Liu Who, who appeared as a character inspired by O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill. Liu sought revenge on the Grinch with a sword, creating a parody of Quentin Tarantino's style. The sketch concluded with a reveal of a fictional movie titled "Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Grinch."
